Relaxing weekend break
Pros:

The staff were all fantastic, they make the hotel somewhere we felt relaxed and comfortable. Handy location for parking, easy to get into the city centre on the bus and leave the car. The food was good, the leisure facilities were good. The bedroom furniture was a tiny bit dated, but the room was really clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely return again.

Cons:

It would have been good to have a plug socket beside the bed to charge my phone. Parking might have been complicated, but staff explained the half price voucher well. But, these are tiny things abd didn't detract at all from our stay.
